Spiritual GrowthLiving by God's Word
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Jesus reveals that spiritual sustenance comes from every word of God.
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. Jesus quotes Deuteronomy to counter Satan's temptation, showing that God's Word is essential for life. Physical bread sustains the body, but spiritual life requires feeding on Scripture. Every word matters—not just favorite passages but the entire counsel of God. We starve spiritually without the Word.
For Today
Treat God's Word today as essential nourishment, feeding on it with the same urgency you eat physical food.
Prayer
Lord, I cannot live by bread alone. Feed me with every word from Your mouth. Make Your Word my essential nourishment today. Amen.
